So I'm thinking of bringing a video camera with me this year. It's on older model panasonic mini dv camera. Can anyone with experience using video cameras on the playa tell me if it's worth it and what kind of care to take? Will mini dv cassettes withstand the heat? What should I be worried about?

at the end of the first chapter, you can see a glitch that happens. that is from playa dust. magnetic tape and playa dust don't like each other. Keep your tapes sealed, and always record a bit of blank footage at the beginning, and end, to protect your footage.

have fun. if your camera is of any kind of size, it's like a white elephant, everyone knows your there.
